At the campfire or on the patio the Sound Blaster Roar wastes no time in getting the party started

What's not to love about the creative sound blaster roar

In this case, we're talking about the Creative Sound Blaster Roar

The sound blaster sounds harsh in comparison, with the mid range sounds overpowering other ranges.

Al I can relate is that I have had 3 defective Sound Blaster Roar Pro units.

All of that combined with the price equals a GREAT value

It's a no brainer for quality as well as value for the price.

The price is fantastic and you are getting a great value for what you pay.

This truly stunned me as it ruined a single operation plug and play USB connection to mimic a similar concept of using a dock for a laptop with quick connect and disconnect

At this price, this speaker is your best available option and a great value without sacrificing quality.

I'm not saying those products are bad, but I believe creative has made a great product that, for me, is better that anything else on the market for my price range

Hoping to get it replaced being that it was an expensive product.

This is really a great product and i love its features.

Great product, this speaker has fantastic sound at all levels

Its going in the trash and will be the last Creative product I own.

Great speaker, higher sound, good size for a good price.

I would recommend this speaker to anyone who wants great sound for a good price.

Great speaker with high quality sound at a great price.

For features alone, I would choose the Roar if price was my main concern

The sound quality is excellent and the price in my opinion isn't to steep either.

Only issue I have are the Bluetooth, I get random skip and interference around my house and backyard.

The Creative Roar is an outstanding portable Bluetooth speaker.

Good sound but very unstable, unreliable bluetooth connection

This is the best portable bluetooth speaker for its price

This is the best sound I've heard from a portable bluetooth speaker

I was looking for good sound quality, and this speaker did not disappoint

Very high quality and has unexpected features and sound quality quite clear but lacking in bass

This speaker is excellent with a wonderful sound quality.

Great sound quality, great bass, and great connectivity

Sound quality is surprisingly loud and room filling, but not as clean as I would like.

I listen to great music and then take a phone call right from the same speaker

The quality of the product is great and the music is sharp and clear

I particularly like the Tera Bass function which makes music sound really loud at low volumes.

Brought the "Roar" to a party and everyone there was very impressed with the sound and how clear the music was

Music is loud, and with settings set properly for my taste(Neutral, terabass on, roar off), it sounds great

The Creative Sound Blaster Roar is a sleek, good looking speaker that puts out great sound and has many useful features

This thing has a bunch of useless features that raise the price when it should have focused on the sound quality.

Forget about paying twice as much for a Bose with the same sound quality but primitive features.

I now understand why they added all the unnecessary features; to make up for its lack of quality sound

With the Bose, you get lots of bass, great sound quality, but no features

The sound quality is astounding, and the bass sounds very good for a small portable speaker

, Guess peoples really like loud Bass more than other)8

I am surprised that it can be as loud and full of bass as it is

Lacks the bass of the Bose, but other than that sounds great

After about a week, the speaker sounds "broken in" producing slightly more bass

You can connect the device with the microSD directly to the computer to manipulate the data on the SD card

so if I use it as a portable device I can take my music with it and not worry about having to use bluetooth

So even if you don't have a bluetooth device handy, you can still play music for hours

In my opinion, the device should play at a steady loud volume until the battery dies

So, what does all of that have to do with the Soundblaster Roar?Everything!I'm not going out on a limb at all if I tell you that the Roar is the least expensive, truly musical device that I've heard in years...maybe ever

The new Sound Blaster Roar 2 is really kind of a mystery to me

Each of those were twice as expensive as the Roar and didn't sound half as good.

The Creative Sound Blaster Roar is a great portable Bluetooth wireless speaker

This is simultaneously due to what the Sound Blaster Roar is, and paradoxically, what it is

So far we really like our new Creative Sound Blaster Roar

All in all this is a great unit with a very powerful sound in a very compact size

She was more than graceful, and wished to correct the issue that I had with my defective unit

The Roar is great except that when the battery dies, the unit is dead

This unit is beautifully made -- no one can fault the fit-and-finish here

In that same environment, this unit pales by comparison

I was so impressed that I quit working for a while just to enjoy what I

Not knocking the Bose unit, but the Sound Blaster blows away the competition

Decent speaker, competition is really fierce for a good quality speaker in this price range but this is worth considering

Some may be frivolous but he majority are useful t and work quite well

I wouldn't say it outdoes the competition but it has its place for the price

Placing the speakers on harder surfaces seems to restrict it from letting the sound reverberate well

It is difficult to compare the Sound Blaster Roar to other portable speakers because it is a big step up in audio quality and features from anything I have seen in its price range, making it an excellent choice for daily use as a primary personal speaker, especially where space is limited, as well as for portable use.

You will surely see scratches on the bottom feet if placed on rough surfaces

One of the problems with that unit besides its high cost is it sits on the narrow edge making it too easy to tip over if you bump the surface it sits on

I am surprised that it can be as loud and full of bass as it is

The Big Jambox is probably the more fragile of the three if dropped due to its metal screen covering.

The Big Jambox sounds a little brash to me at times where the other two sound crisp and smooth

Not as refined as the Big Jambox but I can live with it

Okay so after searching through and through, I couldn't find a distinct comparison between the Creative Roar and a Jawbone Big Jambox

Sounds wonderful, still has that bluetooth feel, but otherwise as good as it gets.

This speaker has plenty of features such a NFC compatibility to connect your device, ability to charge your phone/music player from the speaker, ability to hook up directly to your computer through USB, ability to charge through both the supplied A/C adapter and USB, as well as being able to use it as a hands-free device for your smartphone

I've boughten 5 of the media popular brand B/T speakers over the last year and they embarrass the music and frustrate my ears

This truly stunned me as it ruined a single operation plug and play USB connection to mimic a similar concept of using a dock for a laptop with quick connect and disconnect

Like I said before it fits my purpose for easy listening as well as for a small indoor and outdoor party.

The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features

The ROAR button is great for big rooms or noisy environments and really boosts the sound volume as well as the sound quality

Fantastic!I was *this close* to ordering another compact speaker (rhymes with rose) when I happened upon a review for this little beast

However, the hiss on the Roar 2 is much, much less audible than say, my Jawbone Big Jambox, which has a (subjectively) very audible noise to me, especially in quiet environments with music at low-volume

Some may be frivolous but he majority are useful t and work quite well

but if you are camping or stuck somewhere and in need of a loud noise...

The Sound Blaster Roar SR20A has got to be one of Creative’s stellar flagship devices at this time

No annoying sound or light notifications - just an on and off noise, a chirp to let you know you are connected to a device, a tiny power on light, and 3 tiny lights that indicate battery levels

I was a bit skeptical to here that this speaker would rival the Bose mini

Once I ordered it, i will admit I was a bit skeptical because the reviews were so positive, but I am happy to say that it is by far the best portable speaker we have come across.

The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features

It is not a replacement for the Bose(tm) systems but it's very nice and a good bit cheaper

I must admit I was a bit skeptical about it when I laid my hands on it

The wrap around metal grill and metal grills over the passive bass radiators on the sides of the speaker give this a very sophisticated look

The power amplifier creates considerable bass via woofer and dual passive radiators.

The passive radiators on the side, I believe, give it mid and bass depth without sounding muddy

It is absolutely AMAZING plugged into the computer, unbelievable for this price of speaker.

If one plugs in an iPhone, the noise of the power comes over the iPhone's audio.

I also have a carbon audio pocket speaker, a big jambox, & a g-project g-boom, even though I have a variety to choose from depending on my mood, & where I'll be listening to my music, my soundblaster roar has proven its worth among my speakers

This truly stunned me as it ruined a single operation plug and play USB connection to mimic a similar concept of using a dock for a laptop with quick connect and disconnect

To be fair, other units of this ilk have this problem, like the Big Jambox, etc, btw.

Was worried it might not be loud enough - but no problem there - it gets plenty loud

The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features

as frustrating as the negatives are, the sound is so good for classical music that I chose to put up the dumb problems (and they are really dumb!

It was totally unusable for video because of very very bad audio/video sync problems.

The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features

This is my review of the Creative Roar Pro after listening to these bad boys for about a week__________DESIGN: The design of the Pro is actually very reminiscent to the Roar 1 and 2

Just got this bad boy today, the build and sound from this little thing is amazing
